Über diesen Titel
In October 1994, Susan Smith claimed that a Black man had carjacked her vehicle with her two young sons inside. For nine agonizing days, she stood in front of TV cameras, crying and begging for their safe return. America believed her. Volunteers searched, police investigated, and the nation held its breath.
But Susan Smith already knew the truth. There was no carjacker. No kidnapping. She had rolled her car into John D. Long Lake, drowning her children, Michael and Alex.
This episode examines one of the most infamous crimes of the 1990s: the lies that manipulated a community, the racial scapegoating that fueled national outrage, and the devastating confession that shattered public trust. Daniel and Claire break down the timeline, the inconsistencies, the trial, and the lasting question: When did the lies begin?
